Cost Effective Cloud Management solution

By sglabs

We are using Scalr (the hosted SaaS version) to manage our AWS based web infrastructure at Spitogatos.gr / HomeGreekHome.com, a popular real estate portal in Greece.

Initially it accelerated our move to the cloud thanks to its ready-to-use roles (for open source DB, web servers, caching nodes) that we could customize, as well as the sensible best-practice type of default conventions.

On a day to day basis it has reduced the admin effort per server and its autoscaling capabilities let us control our costs (more servers when we need them, less when we don't).

Deployment and Scripting functionality solves the problem of applying changes to multiple ephemeral servers. Automated Backups, Monitoring, logging capabilities give us confidence we are on top of things and I should mention their support team is great as well.
